How am I supposed to refute something that exists only in your imagination?

You ADMITTED that you didn't understand how Altgens' distance from the limo would affect your graphics and analysis.

Quote me, or admit you're just making things up.

Of course:

What asserted distance? You're not making sense.

Now, state for the record that you DO understand that Chaney's shadow, had he been right alongside JFK - WOULD NOT BE VISIBLE AT ALL IF ALTGENS WERE ALONGSIDE THE PRESIDENTIAL LIMO. And likewise, if Altgens had been 100 feet in front of the limo, Chaney's shadow would be plainly visible if he was just making the turn on to Elm street.

Altgens' distance from the limo is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to your imagined "sightlines" - and the fact that you refuse to admit this simple fact simply shows either your ignorance of basic geometry, or an inherent dishonesty... take your pick.

The sightlines don't lie, Ben. I placed him in almost exactly the same spot as Cutler did, and close to where Roberdeau and others have put him. Roberdeau is a member here, by the way, so why don't you ask him what he thinks of your Chaney theory? As I've pointed out many times before, my argument doesn't depend on whether you place Chaney 20% or 25% closer (than Hargis) to Altgens.

The "sightlines" are absolutely and fundamentally based on the distance that Altgens was from the limo. That's a fact, whether or not you're willing to admit it.

And you're too much of a coward to acknowledge the possibility that the cars in front of Chaney made a brief stop west of the overpass.

How can I be a "coward" to "acknowledge" an impossibility? You admit that the limo could have been traveling at 40 mph as it went under the overpass - the leading vehicle was simply not that far ahead that it could have stopped... and still stayed ahead of the Presidential limo...

AT NO TIME did the Presidential limo entirely pass the lead vehicle...

Why can't you document where this alleged conversation took place???

It has nothing to do with the Altgens photo or the Z film. But I can understand why you desperately want to change the subject.

You really think it has nothing to do with the extant Z film???

Why are you afraid of James Chaney?
